Dr. Shapiro's current research focuses on what he calls natural genetic engineering: coordinated responses of groups of bacterial cells to new conditions and certain physiological stresses. He is particularly interested in the connection between regulatory networks and natural genetic engineering systems that reorganize DNA molecules. Links
